It would be interesting to find out just how much this costs the stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if shoplifting was a factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self scanning is being driven by lack of money and nobody wanting to be embarrassed at the till when they don’t have enough money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Much better to stand in the co-op in Crosby and have the worlds loudest self service till bellow “you payment has been declined” to the entire store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Absolutely with you on that one Roger M, I was away recently in a Decathlon store where your stuff goes into a box automatically to be scanned and priced up, after payment I noticed a small item still in the corner of my trolley so I called over the shop assistant asking for help and to say I needed to pay for it ( not techie more a cash person) after getting help he was totally amazed and thanked me for my honesty which in it self tells a story.
